Oh, my! We went to Walmart and HEB** and Lowe's and Discount Tires today...on a Saturday, ten days before Christmas.
Yes, the parking lots were full, and the streets congested, but we toughed it out!
There were a few things we needed for tomorrow and Monday that couldn't be found here in Zapata.
Tomorrow there is a pot-luck luncheon after worship service. I signed up for "dressing" to go with turkey. I couldn't find Pepperidge herbed stuffing at the local supermarket. I am going to bake it before church, then put it in the crock pot on "warm" until lunch time. Hope that works!
Monday night is the cookie exchange at church. I am choosing to make individual cheesecakes, made in a cupcake/muffin tin. I want to use the new stove. :} However I didn't have muffin tins here in the motor home, so bought new ones at Walmart.
**HEB...what is this? you might be asking. A south Texas chain of supermarkets; think Kroger or Gerbes or Schnuks in the mid west. The super Walmart in Laredo didn't have dressing mix either...but HEB did!
"Lin's", a Chinese buffet, was chosen for lunch. It was just "okay", not enough to say "wow, let's eat here next trip."
What did you do today, just ten days before Christmas?
